FWIW, my wife and I just shopped CompUSA for a laptop for her new job. Alas it must be M$, or at least a dual boot, and everything now is Vista. The choice will be a Toshiba Satellite w/ 1 G RAM and 100 G HD, DVD+R R/W, $729 before the service contract, $300 for parts and labor for three years, including one battery and a screen "even if you drop it." I personally wouldn't go out the door w/o such a contract, having kissed a laptop goodbye in my early career because an inverter on the screen blew, and the repair was more than a new one. CompUSA has always honored my claims no questions asked. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
